Booked a long weekend stay for my fiancé's birthday. Booking was simple, and had a lovely Sunday lunch in the restaurant before booking in. Staff were great and very helpful. Get there early to get a parking space. The room was a little hot (we opened a window) and you must expect some creaky floors and uneven floors but the food was excellent and the location is great. History and a wonderful place to stay in one location!
Other Comments
Early morning delivery at 5.36am should be avoided. Walls are thin and avoid room 4 as staff can be loud when preparing to start their day!

We both thoroughly enjoyed our short break (2 nights) at The Mermaid Inn and will be looking to go back. The staff, many of whom have worked there for a number of years, were all excellent throughout our stay; thank you! Rye itself is a lovely town, with a good range of independent shops and establishments and The Mermaid Inn is a good base from which to explore it on foot. For visiting other places nearby, we found it best to do so on the way there and/or on the way home, as once we’d parked your car, we didn’t need it again until we left!
